So as we near the end of the current generation what games do you think most people missed out on and should play before moving on? 

I'll start with Demons souls, yes a lot of people have palyed it but a lot of people have only played Dark souls without trying demons souls. I found it a lot better than dark souls. Theres something cosy about the nexus that just made me feel safe despite the dangerous world.

Lol the game is awesome, the atmosphere is like no other game out there and with cheesy humor like that is win. I don't know how to describe it campy maybe? It's like playing a Robert Rodriguez movie. Too bad no one bought it so there's not going to be a sequel :(

I mean bro, the game's started to get really nice but only after its first half...To me it was a bit too little too late. If it was like this straight from get-go I'd give it a higher score.

Sin & Punishment: Star Successor (treasure games are always incredible in terms of gameplay) Deadly Premonition (very quirky story - although crap gameplay. reminds me of a current gen fps earthbound) Akai Katana Shin (it's the most friendly - without being as cheesy as deathsmiles - and localized of cave shmups) The Sea Will Claim Everything (for those who thought the walking dead was the best point and click/visual novel of 2012) SpyParty (still hasn't been released, but very little hype behind it. the beta is incredible) Stacking (fantastic puzzle game by Double Fine using stacking dolls - the purpose is to stack into the correct dolls to complete your objectives)

1. Epic Sig

2. I thought it was vastly underrated (more like underappreciated since it got decent reviews), but definitely not amazing.

1. Why thank you... :) KOTOR is my once in a lifetime game... doubt itll ever be eclipsed. 2. I remember enjoying what I played of it... my problem was i gave a friend 10$ for it thinking Id get to it during the slow months of summer and I just never did... there has been literally no lull whatsoever in gaming this gen I feel. Maybe I'll slide it in the rotation after I finish my xmas games.

I really don't know how it did on XBL or Steam to be honest (I have both versions though.)  The good thing is you don't need fantastic numbers for a games like this and we will probably get a sequel. If Shank could get a sequel so can MOTN. (At least I hope so).

It needed a better place to be in.  Some really interesting mechanics bogged down by boring lore and terribly generic voice work and characters.

See statements like that is why I will not buy Dark Souls. Most say Demon's Souls is better than Dark Souls. Well the problem is, Demon's Souls Sucked so bad that I couldn't bring myself to finish it. Without a story (who the fnck makes a storyless RPG anyways), I had no motivation to see what was around the next corner. I really tried to like it and almost beat the game, but no story means I lost interest and cants seem to motivate myself to go back and play it. Anyways, the only hidden gem I have found so far is Darksiders. If not for my girl buying PS+ and them giving Darksiders aways as a free game, I would have never played it. So glad I got to play it. Liked it so much, I plan on buy both on PC during the next summer sale.

Kingdom of Amular: The Reckoning is a must play. Decent story and excellent gameplay. Reminds me of Tales of Vesperia's excellent gameplay. You should also play that game as well if you've never have.

Don't like RPG's, so screw that. Driver San Francisco was a great racing game. It was innovative and had a storyline in a racing game that was actually decent. Project Gotham Racing 4 had brilliant weather effects and great driving physics.

I think the Xbox release of the Witcher 2 really is a hidden gem that alot of people may have overlooked as the platforms are already quite crowded with top quality fantasy RPG's Skyrim and Oblivion dominating much of the market, but the Witcher 2 i feel really did offer an experience quite like no other, it felt that much more real and gritty compared to the other high-fantasy RPG's.For this reason def my hidden gem of last-gen (current-gen)

This, Mark of the Ninja is probably the best stealth game released this gen, a must-play for any fan of the stealth genre.

This is true... it will be a welcomed sequal for me, on any platform it releases... I'd love to see it on a handheld too... Game could be really inventive and slick with some stylus/touchscreen integration etc...
